"The Turk" and "Muslims" used to be synonymous in the Anglosphere, so just reviving an old trope, but it does point a finger at the origin and target of a lot of this hate .

Why break the habit of many lifetimes?
There's probably a PhD in charting the degeneration over time.
Memories of a gentler time ( hopefully not through excessively rose tinted glasses) - when I first listened to question time (late 1960s) this was the predominant mode of questioning. Sometimes with a collateral objective of catching the minister out, to be fair.
Also has the chance to set an even lower low. What's not to like?
Totally USA centric view. The rest of us are laughing at your stupidity as a country.
Any nuclear missile silos around here?
Of course, the other thing Chalmers can do is some targeted but substantial revenue measures in the budget to drag back some private demand. The commentariat has so firmly convinced themselves that revenue raising is politically impossible that they will be blindsided when it happens.
I suspect it's also responsible for at least a proportion of the Greens vote - did your analyses also show this?
He knows the Nazis hate Muslims so he thinks they must love Jews. It's a product of the multi focal hate being marketed that is poorly understood by some of the "followers"
Carney's speech was so effective becasue he took something with particular resonance for his own country and generalised it. If we get such an opportunity we should take it, but just copying someone else going off is pretty useless.
Snap!

Repost this if a/ you’ve never autographed bombs and b/ you object to the President of Israel visiting Australia (he autographs bombs) #auspol

And even prohibitions - see the referendum to ban the Communist Party
Perhaps the coalition is living rent free in some journalists' heads.
You have to admit, though, that the temptation to give the coalition a taste of their own medicine must be pretty near irresistible.
They're overplaying their hand. This stuff only works when it is conducted in the shadows and it's out in the daylight now.
Is there a case to be made that police are one of the few occupations where unions should not be allowed (as in the armed forces).
If it's clear that an event actually happened, you only need to use "allege" if you are saying that a named or characterised perpetrator did it.
Just wait till you see what they do with the Olympics in a couple of years
The orchestrators should should have let Latouf alone - they blew their cover and now they are more exposed.
It explains why he sent casinos broke
You have to remember the Gold Coast is just one great big theme park.
"Green" is a lot easier to say than "Eleanor Schonell". We are a practical people
In the original design it did but the University didn't want to be just a through road, so refused permission.
In fact I think it was one of the few victories of human values over gross utilitarianism.
Part of the rationale for Cross River Rail is to open up the whole rain system. Probably will never be as good as Sydney or Melbourne but combined with busways should be a lot better
The police have probably had to offer to replace the car(s), possibly with brand new ones, or at least pay the equivalemt value with a bit of a loading (as they should in the circumstances). That probably helps them to be gracious!
What we do need in Brisbane is comprehensive small bus services feeding into Busway and Railway stations. Being talked about but needs to be fast tracked.
